DVD EXTRAS


Has anyone has watched these yet (because I'm sad I have the time to watch them) because I think the extras are friggin hilarious. The footage of them playing with the malteasers in the office was so funny. It just shows you what really funny guys they are. If anyone else has watched them, what do you think is the best extra?

Now I'm sh-sh-shakin', sh-shakin' I'm..

I just got my dvd today and Ewan is hilarious! the malteasers, omg, I was laughing so loud and hard. And when they're blowing air under them and Ewan's like "woww!" in almost like a kid's expression and then turns to the camera and says a deep manly "wow." It cracked me up.

reply

HAhahaha yes! the man is ADORABLE.. he still is like a kid in many ways actually

I was laughing for ages at that bit! They're so funny together.

I don't get it though - the DVD has 7 episodes, and that extra footage stuff, but then the TV series has, what, 10/11 episodes? If someone could explain it to me I'd very much appreciate it, because I'm confused. And don't tell me to look on google because I've tried google and google is not my friend.

soon we must all face the choice between what is right... and what is easy

it originally aired in october 2004 with 7 episodes. it aired in the UK and in the US on Bravo. It just recently is playing again in the UK only with 11 episodes instead. Apparently they spend more time on things like North America that they basically just skipped over in the last episode of the 7 part series. They are going to release a DVD in the UK with 11 episodes soon and then for the first time they are going to release the 7 episode series on dvd in the US..

the extras are great! i keep watching them. they said they took 300 hrs of footage. i wish they'd release it. i want more! actually just releasing the dvd in the US would be nice so then i could watch it properly. but anyway.. awesome series and loved the extras.

reply

jesus! 300 hours, can you imagine?? Ive actually heard 800 from somewhere but they coulda been wrong

in any case, it makes you realize that they could have had at least 50 episodes, rather than 7 or 11!! so unfair :(

Yeah I just wrote the maltesers in the hood bit in my last post!! hahaha it's great stuff. I also love the bit when Ewan is telling Charley very seriously about why he shouldn't use his heater in the tent. Also the bit when they have driven off and Claudio talks to the camera.

---------------------------------
No no no!! Stop slashing things!!

reply

LOL yes!

he's very serious saying .. "so, seriously, you dont EVER put the gas burner on to heat you up!"

and then Charley very nonchalantly says "it was only a suggestion.." HAHAH I crack up every time!

maltesers in the hood is a classic though.. *beep* ace

also love when charley and ewan sing "open up your eyes and SEEEeeeeeeeEE" and its so off key and then Charley says "haha, I hope you don't make a career out of singing... wait a minute, actually you HAVE made a career out of singing" BWAHAHahah

I liked the bit with claudio too, and also the part where Ewan is dancing around in the workshop acting all crazy-like.. so cute!

ok I love it all ^^

I like the bit with the malteaser, "an optical illusion, watch this, i did this for a penny!"

reply

Would you recommend that I should see this film? It looks good but I don't know anyone who's seen it!

reply

Well, it's not a film, it's a 7 episode mini-series. But I'd recommend it, as it's the best "reality" show I've ever seen. I'm a real big fan of it....

reply

ok, thanks

reply

You soooo have to see this! I taped all the 11 episodes but i can only find 5 boo i cant find malteasers in the hood! grrrrrr need to wait to 11 epi dvd comes out!
